Reddington throws his hat off while running to rescue the redhead who dove into the ocean. He pulls her out just beyond the surf, clears her lungs, and then puts his hat under her head, but his hat was nowhere near them.

Quotes
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: Have you ever seen the aftermath of a suicide bombing?
Mysterious Woman: We're wasting time.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: I have. June 29th, 2003. I was meeting two associates at the Marouche restaurant in Tel Aviv. As my car was pulling up, a 20-year-old Palestinian named Ghazi Safar entered the restaurant and detonated a vest wired with C-4
Mysterious Woman: Let me go.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: The shock wave knocked me flat, blew out my eardrums. I couldn't hear. The smoke... It was like being under water. I went inside. A nightmare. Blood, parts of people. You could tell where Safar was standing when the vest blew. It was like a perfect circle of death. There was almost nothing left of the people closest to him. Seventeen dead, 46 injured. Blown to pieces. The closer they were to the bomber, the more horrific the effect.
Mysterious Woman: Stop.
Raymond 'Red' Reddington: That's every suicide. Every single one. An act of terror perpetrated against everyone who's ever known you. Everyone who's ever loved you. The people closest to you, the ones who cherish you are the ones who suffer the most pain, the most damage. Why would you do that? Why would you do that to people who love you?

A Unique Episode for a Unique Series

I vociferously disagree with the other reviewers, both of whom appear to be objecting to the new path of the series. Cape May is an essential part of the series because it addresses Raymond's struggle to deal with the loss of Elizabeth, Raymond's emotional and psychological meaning of life. James Spader and Lotte Verbeek, as a mysterious woman, are the principal actors in Cape May. Spader's work is consistently effective as one would expect from a journeyman actor. Lotte Verbeek is an exquisite beauty who has a substantial acting background, and it shows. The chemistry between Spader and Verbeck is similar to that between Spader and Elizabeth (Megan Boone). The writing is simple and thrifty, a difficult undertaking for a script written primarily for just two actors. The director has created a product that synergistically integrates the acting, writing and cinematography. This episode unlocks the mystery of Raymond's commitment to Elizabeth. The twist at the end is reminiscent of Arthur Conan Doyle or Dashiell Hammett. Anyone who has had to deal with a personal loss will appreciate this episode.
